Book Quest: The Challenge 2019

In order for a book to count, it should be of appropriate level for the reader. Please use your best judgment for what you believe should count toward your goal. Remember, this is meant to be a CHALLENGE.

ONLY books read between January 1, 2019 and December 31, 2019 will count.

Book logs must be completed by January 1, 2020

All prizes must be picked up by January 31, 2020.

Library staff members and their family members are not eligible for the grand prize drawing.

Track your progress through your online book log. If you do not have computer or internet access, there are stations set up at your local branch library where you can log your titles. Write down your Username and Password so you don’t forget them!

Anyone who completes the challenge by reading 52 books within the year will receive a small prize. Pick up your prize starting in December 2019.

Stay tuned in January 2020 for the announcement of our grand prize winner. The winner will be randomly selected from all participants who complete the challenge. Library staff members are not eligible for the grand prize.

Book Quest: the Challenge challenges participants to read one book a week for a whole year. In other words, you are challenged to read 52 books over the course of a year, starting January 1, 2019 and ending on December 31, 2019.

What if I participated in the 2018 52 Book Pickup? Do I have to sign up again?

Yes, you will need to sign up again. Please see answer above for the new website link.

What if I don’t have a computer or internet access?

We will have stations set up at each of the library branches where you can log your titles. If you need assistance, just ask one of our library staff members.

What if I don’t finish the challenge?

No problem! At least you tried. We will track your progress until the end of the year, and if you don’t make it, you can always try again next year.

What’s in it for me?

We hope you get a sense of fulfillment and accomplishment from participating in this challenge. It’s not easy to do. There will be a small prize given to all participants who complete the challenge. There will be a drawing for a grand prize at the end of the program.

I don’t know what to read next.

Join our goodreads group for suggestions, discussions and encouragement throughout the year.

What if I don’t start right away in January?

You can start your participation at any point during the year up until November 30, 2019. However, you will still need to complete the entire challenge of reading 52 books.

What if I move away during the year?

You can still participate for the remainder of the year by logging your titles on our program web site. You will need to be physically present to pick up the participant reward for completing the challenge.
